A storm of heavy rain, thunder and lightning caused set cancellations and delays at Glastonbury festival 2014. 

Shortly after Haim finished their set at around 5.30pm, an ominous black cloud (see above) soon opened as a torrential downpour began - complete with biblical rain, thunder and lightning. 

As a result, Rudimental were forced to abandon their Pyramid Stage set early through health and safety fears as a result of the electrical storm - causing delays as festival-goers flocked for shelters. 

Lily Allen is now on stage, and Foster The People are on The Other Stage later than scheduled when Interpol should be on. Don't worry about us, it's quite pleasant now with the rain seeming at bay for the rest of the evening. We're going to have a beer and watch Interpol, Elbow and Arcade Fire. It's all going to be OK, with Glastonbury Tweeting: 

More rain is predicted tomorrow, with clear skies and sunshine forecast for Sunday. Check back soon for the latest news, reviews, photos and updates from Glastonbury 2014.
